Niki de Saint Phalle PERFUME

Niki de Saint Phalle, born as Catherine-Marie-Agnès-Brandon Fal de Saint Phalle (1930 –2002) was a French artist, sculptor, painter and movie maker. She developed her style through various mediums.
During her youth, she was a fashion model and she appeared on the covers of prestigious magazines like Life Magazine in September 1949 and French Vogue in November 1952. She began to paint at that time, experimenting with different styles. Through her life, she lived in France, United States, Spain and Paris and was influenced by all the different types of art she came across, especially fascinated by the work of Antonio Gaudí in Barcelona and his "Park Güell", which persuaded her to create her own garden artwork later on (“Giardino dei Tarocchi”).
Her firs art exhibition was held in 1956 in Switzerland, where she showed her naïve style paintings. Her “Shooting paintings” brought her world-wide fame in 1961, as she invented a completely new painting style using a .22 caliber rifle. After that, came the “Nanas” period, where she explored various roles of women in society through the art of sculpture.
At the beginning of the 80s she decided to experiment with yet another artistic media – the art of perfumery, as she accepted a challenge to bring her artistic sensibilities and unique style into a fragrance. Her eponymous fragrance was dedicated to sophisticated and bold women, like Niki herself. She considered it a statement of pure eroticism and a sensual weapon of empowering women.
